Takes Possession of Cameron DamWhen Woodsman Is Taken ToJail After Defying Officers

For Years.

There Is Reasonable Doubt WhetherDeitz Killed Deputy During

Fight With Posse.

BY RAYMOND EVANS.HAYWARD. Mis.. Nov. 24.—1 t s per-

haps 600 yards from the door of theDeitz cabin to the knoll In the Deitzclearing where Leslie Deitz stood

about the middle of the forenoon of

Oct. 8. All that stretch of 500 yards

has been tufted here and there byflying hard-nosed bullets. Leslie cov-ered the 500 yards while these tuftswere spouting. They spouted allaround hint as he ran. blossomingabout him in little geysers of dust andgravel and following him even to thedoor of the cabin.

This run of was the begin-ning of the most spectacular incidentof the final battle at Cameron dam.Nobody took Leslie's time for the 500yards, hut those who saw him run de-clare no other man ever ran 500 yardsas Leslie ran then.

They say has a charmedlife. Perhaps he has. Certain It Uthat few men have ever had more potshots taken at them than he withouta scratch to show for it.

The whole fuss arose from somemisunderstanding between Deitz andthe local school authorities regardinga school established In the Deitz cabinfor the benefit of the younger childrenThe hoard thought, that Deitz's chargefor rent and Janitor service was ex-orbitant. Also they ihought he waitoo hat’d to please In the matter of ateacher. Deitz, on the other hand,says one teacher sent out was a spy.

Engages In Fist Fight.•Peltz was in Winter on the day of

the primary election and while therehe renewed the school controversywith a member of the school board.The two came to blows. Ilert Horel, avoting bystander, interfered andknocked Deitz down. The latter roseand shot his assailant through theshoulder.

Testimony differs as to who was theaggressor. Indeed, there are twosharply differentiating stories as toJust what happened. Deitz claims thathe shot purely in self-defense, andthat the brawl was n “frameup." TheHorel sympathizers declare that Deitzwas the aggressor.

Deitz retired to his citadel and refused to give himself up. No regularservice of a warrant was made. Verbalmessages and penciled notes advisinghim to surrender marked the extent ofofficial effort to serve a warrant uponhim.

Finally Fred Thorbahn, a determinedman with some ambition to be sheriff,laid before SherilT Madden a plan fortaking Deitz. The plan was accepted.Thorbahn was made deputy In charge,and other deputies were sworn In. (In-cidentally Thorbahn got 11..000 forthe job and the deputies 50 cents anhour for the time they served, day andnight.)

First an attempt was made to am-bush Deitz on the road. Sheriff Mad-den. Thorabahn and Deputy Van Al-stlne hid by the roadside for severaldays waiting for Deitz to drive to townfor mail.

Clarence, Myra and Leslie Deitz,en route to Winter, fell into the am-bush. Thorbahn stepped from hishiding place, called upon the threeto hold up their hands, and immedi-ately began to shoot. It seems that

The White House Crowd—A Foreigner SANITORIUMTOBEREADY CHRISTMAS

Mass Meeting Preliminary to Dedi-cation of Tuberculosis Hospital

To Be Held Sunday.

Preliminary to the formal dedica-tion of the Detroit Tuberculosis sani-torlum. a public mass meeting willbe held in the Detroit opera house,Sunday afternon, Nov. 27. at 3 o’clock,when a number of men interested inthe anti-tuberculosis crusade will givebrief addresses and stereoptlconviews of the new sanltorium, itsgrounds and adjoining buildings willbe showui.

The men and women who havegiven so much of their earnest effort,time and money to realize the erec-tion of the sanitorlum hope to dedi-cate the building before Christmas.That there Is urgent need of the in-stitution and Its facilities to cope withthe white plague .in Detroit needs nogreater proof than the following ex-cerpt from the recent annual reportmade to the Board of Associated Char-ities by its secretary. James B. Will-iams:

Nearly one-third of the cases ofsickness was due to tuberculosis,and one of the most discouragingfeatures of dealing with thesecases, was that almost without ex-ception they were in the advancedstage. It seems inexcusable thata disease which is communicable,curable and preventable, shouldbe allowed to continue to claimits victims in any modern com-munity. when by proper controlit might be possible to eliminatenearly one-third of the povertyand misery of that community.We need facilities for securing abetter diagnosis of cases of tu-berculosis among the people ofsmall means, among whom wefind the largest number of cases.We need more accommodationsfor incipient and advanced cases.Specialists In this work are urg-ing suitable and comfortable hos-pitalization for ttye advancedcases and early diagnosis and

MRS. FRED VAN HOUSEN.VICTORIA, B. C.. Nov. 21.—Fred-

erick Van Housen, his wife, and aparty will plunge shortly into thewilds of Vancouver island to find goldby means of wireless telegraphy.

Frederick Van Housen is a wire-less operator who has a theory thatore Interrupts the air waves sent outby a wireless Instrument, when thewaves pass over the point where theore is hidden. So he has formed aparty that will try to prove the the-ory. This trip is the result of yearsof experiments in whleh*h«J haa beengreatly assisted by bis wife. Whenthe trip was first talked of, Mrs. VanHousen declared that she was goingwith her husband into the wilds. The

dangers and hardships of such a tripwere pointed out to her, but the littlewoman never faltered.

"1 can make the trip as well as anyman." declared Mrs. Van Housen, andso she's going along to assist herhusband in his search for wealth.

In the wilds, stations will be setup, and "when sending between twopoints, if It Is found that the wavesare interrupted, then the party willhunt for gold in that locality. Theexpedition will be made up of six per-sons, four being expert wdreless oper-ators and each will carry a portablewireless outfit, similar to the Instru-ments now used in the army. Thestart will be made shortly.

It Is impossible to ascertain fuHy-lwhat is happening or what has hep*jpened in Mexico in the l&it 24 hours*"owing to the rigid censorship.

The Diaz government also announc*"'ed today that Its soldiers had recapslured the rebels control of the Ma-‘dero branch of the Mexican North*!cm railroad, fifteen persons being'killed.

In reality the shooting of Horel,developed an entirely new angle tothe afiaßKieron dam affair. In thisphase it appeared to all of Sawyer-cosave John Deitz as something quiteapart from the trouble over the dam.To Deitz it appeared wholly as acontinuance of the old struggle.

Perhaps, one mlgJit say that ItWAS that, fundamentally, since Saw-yer-co and lumber interests arelargely co-extesslve. But the menthemselves who made the attackwere not conscoitisly winding up theCameron dam affair. They wereworking on the Horel affair.

Yet tho fact remains that now theChippewa Lumber & Boom Cos. hastaken steps to rebuild Cameron dam.

Leslie flopped over the side of thewagon-bed at the first sign of dan-ger, drawing a Luger automatic ashe went. Thorbahn. who had a Lu-ger in each hand, feared that Lesliewould shoot from the shelter of thewagon, hence his hurried shooting.

He fired wild at Leslie, shot Myra

through the side at the waist and

barked Clarence's arm, but missedthe lucky Leslie, who escaped af-ter serving as a target for a fusiladeof shots.

Clarence and Myra were taken intocustody.

Posse Opens Battle.Then 25 or 30 deputies were iworn

In and Thorbahn led the attack onthe Deitz cabin.

The clearing was closely besiegedfor several days. Finally Atty.-Gen.Gilbert went In and urged Deitz tosurrender, assuring him a fair trial.If Deitz had accepted this assurance,it seems not unlikely that he wouldhave come out of the dilemma withbetter grace than he eventually did.But he decided to fight it out to thebitter end.

Each day Leslie would go up toa little knoll some distance fromthe house and scan the environs forsigns of the besiegers. Then he wouldcome down and his father wouldtake his place, sweeping the clearingwith a pair of binoculars.

On the morning of Saturday. Oct.8. ns Leslie approached this knoll,he was surprised by deputies. Theyhad strict orders to take him alive,but they bungled the hold-up and be-gan shooting, contrary to the ordersof the sheriff. Leslie ran. and thebattle was on. It lasted from 9:30till 3 p. m. Wildly fired bullets pep-pered the ground for rods, all aboutthe Deitz buildings.

Late In the forenoon Deitz ran fromthe house to the barn, leaving Mrs.Deitz and the children lying on thefloor behind a barricade of furniturein the rear room of the house. It Issupposed that he climbed into thehaymow and fired through holes cutIn the roof. He was using smokelesspowder, however, and It is a diffi-cult flatter to establish this to acertainty.

Deputy Is Instantly Killed.While Deitz was In the barn Dep-

uty Oscar Harp and several otherbold spirits crawled on their handsand knees over the bald hill backof the barn, In an endeavor to gainshelter of a row of lumber piles thatcommanded both house and barn atshort range. Harp was shot and In-stantly killed.

Upon the question as to whetherHarp was shot by Deitx or by a straybullet fired by a besieger, hangs thepresent murder charge against Deitz.If the defense can show that there isa reasonable doubt as to where thefatal bullet came from It will be adifficult matter to convict. It seemsprobuble that this reasonable doubtcan be raised.

Deitz surrendered at 3 o'clock.Wounded in the hand while runningback from the barn to the house,he finally decided to yield. Little Hel-en was sent out with a white flag.Now Deitz is In Jail charged with themurder of Harp Mrs. Deitz and Les-lie are held on the same charge.

Incidentally, the coroner s Jurv hatalready CONVICTED Deitz of "firstdegree murder.”

This final clash between JohnDeitz and the local authorities wasas Inevitable as the climax of a Greektragedy. Shelff Madden could do noless than he did John Deitz. angeredby what seemed to him the wantonshooting of his daughter from ain-bush, and perhaps, feeling that hemight be lynched If he trusted him-self to his enemies, could see no way
